CHRIS ROBB'S LAST ROUND DISASTERS IN SOUTH CAROLINA

By COLIN FARQUHARSONColin@scottishgolfview.com

Banchory's Chris Robb, pictured, the former Scottish schoolboys champion who is now a student at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, was heading for a top four or five finish until he had two disastrous holes in his final round of the Southern Conference College Championship at the Country Club of South Carolina, Florence in South Carolina today.

After two sub-par rounds of 71 over a long par-72 course of 7,062yd, Robb's challenge unravelled with a triple bogey 7 at the ninth and a double bogey 6 at the 18th. He finished with a three-over-par 75 for a total of one-over 217. Robb was two under par for the 16 other holes.
That pulled him down to joint 11th place in a field of 55 players, 10 shots behind the winner, Richard Fountain (Davidson College), who shot 68-72-67 for nine-under 207 and won by one stroke.

Robb's fall from grace was also costly for UTC in the team championship. They finished third on 867, only six shots behind the winners, Georgia Southern University and one behind runners-up UNC-Greensboro in a field of 11 teams.
